Abstract

The South Carolina Department of Education submits school related crime information for each school in each district. The following categories of crimes are reported for this purpose: homicide; forcible sex offenses; kidnapping/abduction; aggravated assault; drug distribution; robbery; and weapons offenses. Schools are considered “persistently dangerous” when they expose students to injury from any of these offenses for three consecutive years. A school is designated “at risk” whenever any of those crimes occurs in any two categories in a single school year.
